OK. I got my alignment this morning.
The issue making me question the alignment was the worn trade band on the inside of each front tire; they were worn down to the replacement warning marker. All the other tread beads were OK. Tires on the rear didn't seem so bad.
The rear axel was the most out of alignment. Toe out was 4.9mm on one side and 5.6mm on the other side. Both adjusted to make them slightly 'positive' (toe in). 1.4mm on one side, 2.7mm on other.
The front axel wasn't square (to the frame). Adjusted that too so toe in was same as rear.
Cost: $304
Rather than tug and bend on the axels with pneumatic tools they heated and cooled the axels. It was interesting to watch.
I think I'll go by a tire shop before leaving for our 2021 trip and have the 2 front tires flipped on the rim.Larry KE4DMG

Tim and Chris,
I used Ainsworth in Denver a few years ago on a single axle KZ camper and the work appeared to be done well. Axle was bent after hitting a hidden sharp curb that was covered with snow. Camper was pulled about 10,000 more miles after repair before selling, with no issues and even tire wear.

I upgraded to the Goodyear tires last year and they were wearing the same. Just finished the MorRyde suspension upgrade at Henderson's in Grants Pass Oregon. The techs told me GD does not do much of an alignment job on the new trailers. Mine was out quite a bit when they started. The new suspension, axles, shocks and disc brakes are all oversized now and aligned perfectly. Next time I'll stop for the alignment as soon as I get new tires. I'm sure your shop will find the same thing when they check yours. Good luck
